SAFe DevOps: Organizing For Value Delivery

Is IT able to deliver at the speed of business? Probably not. Many organizations are exploring how DevOps can enable them to accelerate delivery and improve quality, but they struggle with the transformation. In this web event, SAFe evangelist Alex Yakyma will share key insight about the impact organizational factors can have on establishing a continuous delivery pipeline. You will learn specific techniques for organizing Agile Release Trains and teams to enable DevOps capability, in order to improve software delivery. You will also understand the importance of two critical concerns: building a DevOps capability vs. actually using it. Lastly, you will understand the key aspects of economic framework that governs decision-making for DevOps at scale.

If you are trying to accelerate software delivery, improve quality and adopt agile at scale, then this web event will help you get started on your transformation.

Let’s face it. Not all enterprise applications are born for Agile delivery. Organizations will have mission critical applications that are updated infrequently and will continue using waterfall development methodologies. “Why change when it is working well?” say customers. The question then becomes – Will your businesses be able to plan/build/test/track across an enterprise application portfolio for agile and non-agile teams?

Join us in this webinar, as we talk about balancing the needs of legacy and digital first applications, and what true hybrid application development means to your complex application portfolio.

Businesses today are under pressure to deliver software quicker than ever before, without compromising on quality. As they strive for increased agility, parts of the organization are moving to agile development methodologies, and continuous delivery with DevOps.

This webinar will explore the challenges that enterprises face as they juggle legacy applications, tools, and methodologies with ultra-modern architectures, technologies and delivery models. We will look at how HPE Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and ALM Octane work together with modern and legacy toolsets to provide all of the information that executives need in order to make the strategic decisions that will keep their business ahead of the competition.

The race is on to attract fickle customers and what we have learned from digital disruptors is that the company that delivers the great customer experience first usually wins. Application developers are developing code at ever faster speeds to create these digital experiences that have ever rising expectations.

But these new release speeds often leave the infrastructure and operations teams scrambling to adjust. This presentation discusses the findings of a January 2017 study commissioned by HPE and conducted by Forrester Consulting on the obstacles organizations face in delivering high-quality solutions at speed, and how they are overcoming them.

Many organizations have started on their DevOps transformation journey today, but only 10% have fully embraced DevOps. Is it still so new that organizations are struggling to understand it?

Change is hard, and the transformation to DevOps is hard. It flies in the face of the traditional silos:

(1) Applications departments for the majority of the larger enterprises were in place to support their business; today they are expected to be revenue-generating, and expected to be the main way to engage with their users, including customer support; and

(2) There were a lot of teams, processes, and infrastructure that were all set up to support the original models.

Learn how to engage with your organization to move towards a more optimal DevOps model.

As organizations rapidly adapt to the volume and velocity of evolving business requirements, application teams are under greater pressure to deliver at speed and with confidence.

The cloud changes two main aspects of application delivery. Firstly, cloud and SaaS models change how applications are built and tested, moving from custom development to composites of on-premises and cloud APIs; and secondly, cloud economics drive development, testing, and lifecycle management tool purchase preference towards SaaS and Cloud utility models. This webinar will explore how taking the time and effort to evaluate the benefits of hybrid-cloud development and testing will ultimately pay off major dividends in cost and agility.

Your business needs to deliver faster. To accommodate, Development needs to introduce fewer changes but in a much more frequent cadence. This creates a challenge for test teams to keep up with the rapid pace of change without compromising on quality. Automation is paramount to the success or failure of Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Testing enables early and frequent quality feedback throughout the CI/CD pipeline. In this webinar, we will explore how to implement Continuous Testing to ensure high quality releases in a Continuous Delivery environment; including what to test and when to automate new functionality in order to optimize your efforts.

Whenever you implement PPM enterprise solutions, users still have a trend to use COTS (commercial out of the shelf) solutions like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Project. After all, PPM is by nature collaborative, data-intensive, and integrated with other tools and processes.

But how can users be given such flexibility while retaining the governance, control, and logic of PPM?

PPMetrics, an HPE Integrator partner, developed an easy interface in Excel “XLI”, which brings the best of both solutions and provide a flexible and still effective way for users to enter new or update massive data.

This webinar features a live demo of a PPM add-on named the Excel Interface (XLI) by PPMetrics. You’ll see how the XLI may be used to update, integrate, and collaborate on various types of PPM data without any modifications to the core PPM application or surrounding processes.
